First stages of filming

With the pre-production tasks completed it was time to start filming. On a bitterly cold November night Alex and Max travelled to the shoot location. I was unable to get there due to travel issues. But I was informed what was occurring via mobile phones. They brought the High definition camera with the tripod and wheels for the 360 degree shot. Upon arrival they searched the premises in hope of finding shots that would be visually effective.
After about 15 minutes of filming I spoke to them and they were very confident on how the shots were turning out. Our main actor, Louis Palmer, was very fond of the opportunity of being able to show off his muscles!! He played the part perfectly and boxed the punchbag with strong intent and emotion. In filming, they made sure to pay attention to detail, for example, making sure the actor was damp to show how hard he is working and keeping the warehouse clean. They tried to get most of the shots done in one night but infact it is surprisingly time consuming so they didn't. However, it was back to the classroom so I could digitise and review the footage.
